Yes. Of most interest to us is the capacitance element inherent in all
multiconductor cable. This element increases as the run gets longer.
Signal is signal be it analog or digital. Analog will decrease in
quality as the cable run gets longer. So will digital but the reciever
will not care that the signal is degraded - to a point. When that
threshold is reached, the digital receiver will not sync up and simply
stop functioning, hence the "all or nothing".
